THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS

THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS Vol.1 Friday, February 23, 1934 STOW, OHIO No.J^ MINISTERS COLUMN Sometimes a Church has a weakness in attending Divine Service. Some members come when convenient, never considering regular attendance as vital and important. The old Jewish economy taught that collectively they kept the whole law, that is, one kept letter A, another kept B and still mother kept another convenient part, so among them they kept the law. Amusing and absurd we say. Tut do we not keep the faith in. much the same manner? We reason, our family should be represented at Church, so someone must volunteer to attend. I have been informed that there are enough connected with Stow Community Church to fill the house. They should all attend Church. Some are faithful, others careless. But you need the Church. If you are a member that is your place. You rob your own soul when your forsake the house cf prayer. You never can substitute anything that will take the place of an assembled congregation of worshippers. General Charles Miller chartered a special train to get him from Meadville to Franklin, Pa. in time for morning worship. I know a denomination whose members make every human effort, even though they are out of town, to return in time for their worship, and this is not the Catholic cither, and this great religious group conduct their own worship, and that without a minister The old farmer up in Iowa said to the five men who stood at his gate and asked for board while the bridge was being built, all right boys, but see the little Church on the hill? Well, Sunday mornings the woman and I never miss attending there. If you fellows beard at our house that's the only condition, the Church on the hill. Try regular Church going, you will find it profitable. Rev. Geo. T I. Hulme CHURCH BICLE SCHOOL MORNING WORSHIP CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR S. S.

2 THtt COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS o PERSONALS Mr. H. E. Ferris was a welcome visitor at Cliurcli Sunday. Mr. Ferris lias been driving back and forth between Ohio and Florida several times each winter during the last four years. He tells us (hat the robins this year are further north than is usual at this time of the year. It seems that during the winter they live in large flocks down there, but when they arrive in Ohio they live in pairs. Mr. L. B. Wheeler drove to Geneva over the week end. Mrs. J. F. Harjie and Fay Marie were at Bible School and Church Sunday. Where was Mr. Harjie? We understand that Mr. H. E. Osman told his wife lie had a business engagement Sunday morning. She found him at the Bible School. Let us have more such business engagements among the men on Sunday morning. Member Passes Miss Margaret I. Wiper died last Friday at the home of her sister, Mrs. Smith, Gorge Blvd. She was one of our exemplary 1 Christian members whom it was always a pleasure and an inspiration to see at Church. Missing music from (lie Church orchestrations might be returned and make Dick Osman happy. Until Mr. Bratton went home and secured a complete set of the Old Spinning Wheel, the first practice of the Sunday School threatened to go on the rocks because of the lack of complete musical numbers. Furthermore, we hope to start practice on time each Tuesday. Last Tuesday one or two were at the Church at 7:00 P. M.; no one being present at that time tliey went home. Stop in at Silver Lake Greenhouse soon and see the Spring plants which they are starting at this time. The seed for some of the California giant double fringed petunias cost app-oximately?1000.c0 a pound. We don't believe Mr. Bauder bought more than three pounds. Men keep in mind the next ' irenthly Bible Class get together at the home of Mr. Stein, March 15th. You are the loser if you are not one of those present. Such a meeting was held at the Woodring home in Darrowville the evening cf February 15th. It l as an inspiring occasion for all. Besides getting better acquainted with our neighbor, laughing a great deal, and eating too much. EXCLUSIVE Invalid Car AMBULANCE Service SERVICE y MEAILLHED T* NOT IIY '7S GOLD fr OUJ BY it; THE Mi.

POETRY By A Stow Hi School Ssnior Come on and join the fun, Don't think your work is done, We've just begun it, you know. If 'twere not for our pastor, We'd not have moved faster, Than our crawl of a year ago. For dad its the men's group; For mother, the Guild; Come brother and sister, Your class to help build. Build fast and build furious; Build higher than others With a great tabernacle in view. Do your part with all your soul Help your brother reach his goal, Come the Church need* you! Ladies and gentlemen: Please secure more profitable advertising for this paper. Call WA-9463 (You can get us if the Telephone Co. has not disconnected our phone for non-payment of dues). ERRATUM Mrs. Mincks instead of Mr. Mincks was the author of the poem to the Guild in the last issue of The Community Church News. Woodring burns Guises coal That's the reason Cross had to take off his coat last Thursday night. WASTING LIFE Many a person wastes much of life waiting for an opportunity to do some great-thing. While thus waiting for large opportunities, they overlook the little daily duties, the doing of which will inevitably fit us for the accomplishment of greater tasks. Forget not to come to the Church Nit-e Supper and Business Meeting. C P. M Friday, March 2. Pot Luck Supper Bring also your own table service. A CHRISTIAN ATTITUDE No matter how much a man may differ from you, that is no reason why you should not maintain a Christian attitude toward him and treat him kindly at every opportunity. Selected Worship God in some church Sunday. There is room. Are your chickens or cows, or your pipe, or the Sunday morning newspapers, or the extra work you have to do in the store more important than the redemption of jour soul? Some time we hope to give a list o* the reasons men and women offer why they do not attend church. We thank Mr. DeWees of the Falls News for typing most of our "copy" last week.

Tribute To The Bible Selected By W. V. Smith This book contains "The mirid of God, the state of man, way of salvation, doom of sinners, and happiness of believers. Its doc- I rines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, rrd p:actice it to be holy. It ctn'tins light to direct, you, food to srpport you and comfort to sheer yon. It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and!he Christian charter. CHRISJT its grand subject, our good its design, rnd the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, iule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be open at the Judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest 1 abor, and rondemns all who trifle with its holy contents." John Adams, second president of the United States, said, "I ppesk as a man of the world to rren of the world; and I say to you, Search the Scriptures. The Bible is the book of all others, to be read to all ages, and in all conditions of human life; not to be read once or twice or thrice through, and then laid aside, but!o be read in small portions of one or two chapters every day, and never to be interrupted, unless by some overruling necessity."
